Guides
Property tax
Property carries the largest single sums most people will ever be taxed on, and the rules moved twice in 2026. These guides state the rate, the section it comes from, and what it is charged on, because the three are not the same question.
Property tax
What a buyer and a seller each pay for tax year 2027, why FBR's own summary states a rate the law contradicts, and the deemed-income tax that no longer exists.
Capital gains on property
Why the date you bought decides everything, how the gain is computed with no allowance for inflation, and the relief that halves the rate for one group of sellers.
Rental income
What your tenant withholds, why it is not the end of the matter, the deductions almost nobody claims, and how a security deposit becomes taxable income.
Provincial property tax
The annual tax your province charges on owning property, which is a different tax from the federal one, and why Punjab's own website describes law that was repealed.
Landlord deductions
The one-fifth repair allowance you get without spending it, the provincial property tax that reduces your federal bill, and why the statute is not company-only.
Gifts and inheritance
Why a gift to a relative is not a clean slate, who counts as a relative, and the family settlement rule that arrived in 2026.
Agricultural income
Why the federal exemption is narrower than it sounds, what each province actually enacted, and why agricultural income only shelters assets to the extent tax was paid.
Shares and funds
Why shares bought before July 2013 are outside the tax entirely, what changed in 2024, and why you never get a bill for this one.
